At every stage of his 20+ year career, Greg has been sought after to resolve disputes. A long-time trial attorney and crisis manager, Greg knows how controversies unfold and evolve, and the consequences of failing to resolve them.
High-stakes litigation. Conflicts in educational settings. HR friction. Disagreements in family businesses and corporations. Greg has spent his career working with leaders and litigants to manage problems before they spiral out of control.
Greg is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Virginia School of Law, where he was a member of the Virginia Law Review. He received formal training as a mediator at the Harvard Law School Program on Negotiation (Mediation Intensive).
Henning has tried more than 50 cases before juries in state and federal courts, and supervised lawyers in hundreds more. He trained new attorneys on evidence, trial advocacy, and jury selection, and has served as a faculty member for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA). A former law clerk for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, Greg has consulted on litigation around the country, including California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, Kentucky, Texas, Louisiana, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. He has been involved in the negotiation, mediation, and resolution of multi-party conflicts, commercial litigation, contract claims, wrongful death suits, personal injury and sexual abuse cases, and general torts.
Individuals and companies rely upon Greg’s advice to resolve conflicts in the corporate world. He regularly consults for entities struggling with partnership disputes, management turmoil, and governance issues. From Top-100 law firms to Fortune 500 companies, he has counseled businesses and attorneys dealing with problems in the boardroom.
Working through the distinctive dynamics of family offices and the individuals they serve requires a unique skill set. Henning has developed a specialty working with these families – in many cases at the request of their attorneys or trusted advisors. His experience in the family office world helps him to identify practical considerations in these conflicts, while appreciating the discretion required to navigate them without collateral consequences.
Greg has represented and advised employees and employers. From negotiated separations, personnel conflicts, and partnership breakdowns to misconduct, discrimination claims, and internal investigations, he has guided parties through the process of conflict resolution in the workplace.
Insurance considerations often impact mediation, particularly when litigation is involved. Greg has worked for and against insurance companies, representing insurers and insureds as both a litigator and an advisor.
Non-profit organizations face a distinct set of challenges compared to companies in the private sector. Working through these issues requires experience with and an understanding of how non-profits work. Henning has counseled educational institutions ranging from pre-schools to universities and been involved in litigation against them. He has previously served as a board member for a non-profit and regularly advises these entities.
For the past 25 years, Trey has been a non-family member shareholder, board member, and executive in family-owned corporations. Having served as Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel throughout his career, Trey has dealt with the internal and external challenges inherent in multi-generation companies.
During his second year in law school at the University of Virginia, Trey completed a Masters of Accounting at UVA. Later he earned an LLM in Taxation at New York University School of Law.
More recently, Trey completed his mediation training at Northwestern University School of Law and Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation (Mediation Intensive).
Trey is the founder and largest shareholder in his closely held real estate investment enterprise and manages his mediation schedule around this commitment.
When not working, Trey and his wife, Audra, spend their time supporting the amateur sporting careers of their four children as they compete around the world.
Trey holds joint citizenship in the United States and the European Union (Netherlands), and is a member of the Cherokee Nation.
Having worked with and for family-owned businesses for over 25 years, Trey has experienced most of the common (and many uncommon) issues facing closely held businesses from the inside. Trey has seen firsthand how an outside mediator can help facilitate agreements between parties. Trey’s experience with finance, accounting, and taxation as well as law, combine to provide a particularly useful skill set for helping closely held businesses from startups to multigenerational family companies.
Trey has advised and mediated for multiple family offices. The challenges confronting family offices can be very similar to those involved in the operation of other forms of family business. Emotions and family histories create a challenging environment for the operation of any business enterprise. As an experienced neutral, Trey can help navigate family offices through these challenges.
Soon after law school, Trey began investing in real estate. While working as an associate in the Washington, DC office of a large national law firm, Trey spent weekends rehabbing investment properties before the term “house flipping” came in vogue. Since that time, he has continued to invest in and develop real estate and currently manages a sizable multi-state/international portfolio. This experience adds to Trey’s business knowledge and helps him relate to entrepreneurs as well as seasoned business professionals.
Trey began mediating years ago as a Certified Mediator through the Early Settlement Mediation Program of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. He returns to Oklahoma periodically to conduct mediations for the program. Most of these mediations involve Native Law issues, a field of law that is unique to the United States. This knowledge allows Trey to help individual Natives and tribes solve the distinctive challenges inherent in this area of law.
Serving in the roles of Chairman, Treasurer, and Secretary on several non-profit boards, Trey is familiar with the governance needs and responsibilities of these entities. As with all organizations, communication is essential. Often, a neutral mediator can help these boards efficiently work through issues and achieve the stated goals of their non-profit charters.
